Sicilian Society of Homeland History - Luigi Di Maggio Hall, Piazza San Domenico- Palermo.
In 1926 Ernesto Basile invited the young Morici to decorate the "Luigi Di Maggio" hall of representation of the Sicilian Society for Homeland History, in the premises of the former Convent of San Domenico. The artist paints Frederick II and his imperial court in a "temperone" on canvas of monumental dimensions that ends in 1929. The large decorative panel shows the skills and the figurative strength of the artist who outlines the faces with intensity, especially that of the emperor Stupor mundi. In the background he draws the architectural structures of Palazzo dei Normanni, the bell tower of San Giovanni degli Eremiti and the Palazzo della Cuba, with intentions of unrealistic but dreamy civic value, which he will further testify in the XNUMXs.
